Christin is over here right now! She spent the night. She's camping at harrison bay for 2 weeks (the 2 weeks ending on wednesday) so i got all excited since she was so close and i said we had to do something together lol. So after school yesterday when i got home she called and i begged my parents to let me drive over there by myself in my car lol. At first my mom was like NO NO WAY, and i was like DUDE come on! It's only 3 miles down the road and when i get near there the speed limit is 20! So she said call your dad. So i called and he gave in heahea. So i packed up my stuff and drove over there and i prayed the ENTIRE 3 miles there lol. I was so scared that i was gonna do something bad lol. But it was all good. I had like the ranger dude behind me the whole way there so it was like mom was there haha. But then i parked next to her trailer (which is the cutest thing ever lol) and then we drove down the pool, which we could of walked to but we wanted to ride in my car lol. So we went swimming and there was like 5 people there so we basically had the pool to ourselves and we were talking and all and then like 45 to an hour into our swim time, a group of church/day care kids came. And there were about 30 of them. All middle school. So they come and were like oh no. And we had our stuff laid out next to the fence and they just decide there gonna put all their crap around us where we cant get to it. So i get out and move everything over for them, im nice i know (sarcasm). And then they all were screaming the entire time and splashing water and then some girl was backstroking and she hit me in the head with her hand! She hit me! And i was like in shock and she goes, oh im sorry and swims off like it was nothing and then one of her friends behind us some distance starts laughing! So by that time we got sick of it and we went back to her trailer and hung out. And then i asked if she could spend the night and she could so we decided to go for a joy ride and get her car washed lol. So my mom wanted me home for dinner so i went home and ate and cleaned my bathroom and then i went back to her house around 7ish and we hung out some more and then she followed me to the gas station and we got icis lol. I wanted to drive us but my mom forbid me to take anyone with me since it was the first time i'd been on the road alone lol. So then she realized she'd forgotten her purse, so we went back and got it. And then on the way home, she drove up next to me in her car and she talked on the road lol it was great. And then we came home and got online for forever and then i did her make up which she loved lol. And i think were going swimming again later today, i'll write more later! bye guys!

No more Coach Heleton! Praise the Lord! Ok me and Lindley did good on our exam in there though. We had to get into groups and we were partners and we had to cover 3 chapters. We had alcohol, tobacco, and drug abuse. So for each chapter we wanted to bring in food that goes along with our info. So for Drug abuse we didnt have any food but then i thought I could of gotten candy pills lol but anyway we did power point for that and made a poster that was the shape of a pill bottle and it was colored like one. And then for Tobacco we did a poster shaped like a cigarette and we were gonna hand out candy cigarettes to everyone but we couldnt find em! So we had tobacco gum! lol its the big league chew thats shredded like tobacco. And then for alcohol we had a wine glass poster and had sparkling grape juice in wine bottles, u know like welches? So we poured them that and gave em gum so it was all good. And at the end we had a whole pack of the gum left and for some reason Shelley and Jamie wanted me to stuff the whole pack in my mouth at once lol. I dont know why but they did and then everyone cracked up so i did lol. That was interesting. The pack probably had 10-15 pieces of gum in it so i ate it in sections and would take one section out and then when i was done i added it all together. I almost choked there was so much gum. But everyone got such a kick out of it lol. And then i took it out and all these poster boards were in the garbage so they told me to stick it to it and i did and it was a massive ball of spit and gum and it slid down the poster some, it was great lol. I said i wouldnt eat gum for a while though lol.

And then yesterday Megan gave me my birthday present! I flipped out! It was a little box she had painted black and then on top she had broken some plastic or something into all kinds of pieces and spelled out I heart BSB and then all around that she had pieces of mirror she's smashed. It was the cutest thing. And then inside she put red white and blue star buttons and 4 leaf clover buttons! I was so excited i about peed on myself lol. It was so great u have no idea. I dont know what im gonna put in it yet though. Probably something BSB lol. Ok Megan just so u know when I make my BSB video, thats gonna be on there and i'll say my friend Megan made this for my 16th birthday lol.

I had english and spanish exams today. Spanish was a piece of cake but English was kinda hard. But i didnt study too lol. After we took the exam we got our compliment sheets though. That was fun lol.

lol those crack me up. And then before the exam Ben was sitting behind me and he drew a smiley face on the back of my arm just because he said he was gonna die if he couldnt lol. And he almost ripped my hair out since he was using them as reigns lol. And then after the exam he was like i cant see the smiley! So he grabs my arm and rolls my sleeve up and he goes there ya go, show off those guns lol i was like surrreeee Ben haha. I was like Ben were not gonna have english together anymore! cause we had it together last year. And he was like yeah im gonna miss u Cortney, ure so fun lol and he came over and was trying to give me a hug while I was sitting down and it turned into a headlock lol. I swear he cannot be gentle or quiet, everything he does is loud and strong lol.

We took Christin home today too. She is camping at Harrison Bay so we took her home.

I got my license yesterday! It took 2 1/2 hours before i drove though! When i was done my knees were shaking lol. But my pic looks bad but thats ok. No biggie.

NO MORE CHEMISTRY!

PRAISE THE LORD! NO MORE CHEMISTRY! omgosh u have no idea how happy I am to be out of that class. Ahhh i thought it would never end. Ok I have to admit for the first time i didnt study for this exam. I went over the review sheet once, and all my tests once and i didnt really comprehend what I was reading cause I was watching tv actually lol. I was like ya know i dont care about exams for once. Cause if u really think about it, exams arent that important unless your almost failing or on the border line of a D and C or B and C or whatever. Cause otherwise if u have a 99 in a class for one nine weeks and a 98 for the other, pretty sure ure gonna have an A even if u bomb it lol. I think i would concentrate more on regular tests in the year than exams. But anyway that was my soap box, well i thought the exam was pretty easy considering i didnt study. I knew alot of the stuff, it surprised me. Mrs. Taylor gave everyone an ultraviolet bead bracelet, she said this is for yall to remember chemistry bye. I was like umm... haha...sure. They are pretty though in the sun. There clear in general and then in the sunlight they turn different colors there cute. I think i wanna go look for some more and make a necklace lol.


I have my Bible and Health exams tomorrow. Shouldnt be too hard. I'm just glad we dont have anymore full days. Oh the days go by so quick when their half ahhhh i cant wait lol. And then im going to get my license after school tomorrow! yay! From what i hear, i think i know what the course is and it's easy as poo lol. Me and mom drove it after school today, or what we think it is. I know my way around there anyway cause we go to the mall that way sometimes so it's all good. But Christin kinda scared me when she said that if u dont park between the lines or u go over a curb, its an automatic failure and u cant take the test again for another month :(. Better not do that lol. Pray for me and wish me luck guys! If i get it im gonna beg my parents to let me drive to school the last day. I dont think they'd mind as much since it's a half day and since no one is in the bottom lot lol. Today I saw Brittany's lone car down there so i'm gonna ask lol.

Birthday!

It's my 16th birthday! yay!!! I had a great day! Well let me tell u about the bad part first.

So yesterday I went to the special doctor for my tonsills and he said they were massive (which I knew) and I am having surgery June 5th! 2 weeks from today! And im the first surgeony that day so I have to be there at 6:15 bright and early. Yay. But anyway I talked so much yesterday at the doctors office to my dad, i was bothering him and this morning was my punishment. Well anyway we go home and my throat hurts worse (i have a sore throat, a throat infection i think). And i mean it hurt so bad it hurt to talk or open my mouth or move my tongue or anything. So then my head starts to hurt too. So it's making me sick and im tired so i run to bed as fast as I can. So im lying there and eventually I go to sleep. And that was at 9:30 and i woke up at 12:05 or so and my head is about to explode and my throat is on fire. So I lay there a bit and finally I get up and take some medicine and then I lay back down and im about to be sick. So I get up and im crying now cause I just want my head to stop hurting SO bad. So I go to the bathroom and sit there in front of the toilet for a few mins and I start coughing. And I gagged some and then I threw up twice. And then I start yelling for my mom and my dad comes in there, which is really weird cause my mom always comes but she didnt hear me. So my dad helps me back to bed and he sits next to my bed for like 10 mins or so and he gets me a wet rag (it always helps the head) and then he goes and gets me some water which helped my throat and he thought I should take some more tylenol and I was like no i already took 2 like 20 mins ago, but i didnt know if i threw it up or not. So he says he's gonna get me one and he did. So the entire time i keep asking if u can go to the hospital and get a shot to make a headache go away and i was like can we go? and he was like cortney u cant get a shot and i was like crap im gonna die. And i had just thought, its my birthday and i go, it's my birthday in my nonemotion voice and he goes Happy Birthday with a laugh and i smiled lol. So then I told him to go back to bed and he did and I layed there a while and i felt better. So i finally fell asleep and then I woke up at like 4 and my headache was gone! The entire time i had it i was praying for God to make it go away and finally when it did i said thank u Lord so many times. U cant count how many times I said it. So then i went back to sleep and woke up with my alarm, dead. I had gotten like 4 hours of sleep. But i felt fine. And all night when i was in pain i though Oh no im gonna be so sick tomorrow and cant go to school on my birthday and im gonna miss my classes and my tests and im gonna fail chemistry cause i missed so much and have to take it over! I think I have like 1 day left in Chem to miss.

But anyway i was fine and i got ready and all and we went to school and I heard a million happy birthdays and Jillian gave me a hug (yay! I felt good after that). And then when Katlyn came to wait on me from Chemistry she started screaming down the halls HAPPY 16TH BIRTHDAY CORTNEY! And I was like Katlyn AHH!!! lol. But anyway it was a good day cause we barely did anything in our classes. And I missed 3rd period cause of Chorus practice for graduation! yay! I missed the insane man! And we didnt take our SP test in english so today was good. But now I know why my throat hurts worse at the end of the day, cause im talking so much and im not kidding. I sang in chorus today and I was in pain by the end. Ahh cant do that anymore. And back to the bday, Meenal gave me the sweetest card ever! It was a regular card that she had written all kinds of quotes on! At first I thought it was a card everyone had signed but she put all kinds of stuff on it. My favorite one was "I hate the Backstreet Boys" - everyone but Cortney HAHA! I got a kick outta that one lol :) And then we went to Sonic for dinner cause I asked since it was my bday lol. Its my fave restaurant. I got my dinner and a sundae! yum! And then after school I drove my car home with the top down! I felt cool lol. it's been a good birthday. yay!

We scheduled our classes today for next year. My goodness all im gonna do next year is study. And today Mrs. Parrot scared the crap outta me when she said that whole thing about Physics being required. I was like "What the f***! I already have my schedule for the next 2 years! Now I basically have to take Chemistry all over again! Why are u trying to put me through hell?!?!" But it's ok now cause she said that was for the 8th graders right now that are going to be freshmen. So it's all good. Well here's what I think i'll be taking:

1. AP Biology
2. Ethics of the Bible, History of the Bible
3. AP History
4. Honors English
5. Spanish 3
6. Algerba 2
7. Study Hall

Now I was gonna take Biology 2 in the place of study hall so I wont have a science when i'm a senior, but Mrs. Parrot said that it would be really difficult having 2 Biologies and then the classes might overlap and learn the same things. So i'm taking Bio 2 when i'm a senior, yay.

But anyway onto something new! I'm getting sick AGAIN! Yay! Lucky me! Yes this is the 3rd time in the last month that i've been sick. I am gonna die one day of a cold, i just know it. Well I got really sick before the chorus trip with a bad sinus infection, and then i was almost completely better by the trip, and then that sunday on the trip i woke up and my throat hurt again! So I went back to the doctor and took more medicine. And now it my throat hurts again! yay me! And tomorrow i'm going to the eye, nose, ear, and throat doctor. Here's the background on that: My tonsills are majorly oversized, and by oversized i mean that when yall are sick with a sore throat and your tonsills swell up, mine are that size all the time. So basically my tonsills look like there infected all the time. That's how big they are normally. So every doctor that looks at them automatically says, Oh my goodness u have to have those tonsills taken out! Well everyone thought they would shrink as i got older, no. They've gotten somewhat bigger actually. So with all of my headaches and everything else wrong with me, i'm going to have them cut out. Oh yes, hopefully right when school is out, there getting cut out for good. Since i have a headache everyday (literally, im not kidding), they think that my enlarged tonsills could be the reason. And here are the reasons why: Well my aunt said that someone at her church was having headaches all the time and she got her tonsills out and they stopped. And then the doctor said that I could be having headaches b/c since I snore so loud, that that means im not getting enough oxygen to my brain when i sleep, so thats why i wake up with a headache, and then therefore that means im not sleeping well, so thats why im always tired and cold. This is gonna solve alot of problems. We checked to take em out 3 years ago and never did, i think it's a good idea now. So were going to see the dude tomorrow to get the ok about it and schedule a date. And im leaving school 10 mins early! And your probably thinking ok thats a whole lot of time Cortney, well im not going in till like 10:30 or 11 cause I dont wanna go to awards day cause I never win and I dont wanna sit there, and my mom has to sub at 11, so it all works out good! yay! Short day for me!

Well the chorus program went well, and hot too. I sat there and sweated the entire time. Since the gym has no air conditioning (and where does all of our thousands of dollars of tuition money go to?) i sat there and sweated the ENTIRE TIME. I got up when it was our turn to sing, an hour later, and my dress was wet on the front and back. Yeah it was wet all right. And then when we ALL got up there, the 200 of us or however many there were, i was sweating really bad. Ahhh why do I have to have sweat genes this bad? My entire family sweats like this. We sit there and sweat. Everyone used to stare at me in volleyball cause 20 mins into practice, all we would be doing was bumping and it would pour down my face. It was gross. Ahhh lucky me. Well anyway I was right. The slide show did last for an hour ahhhhhhh shoot me now.

Anyway, today around 1 or so I was counting my I Love BSB's, and im almost done counting by the way, so i'll be done writing soon too lol. Just thought u'd like to know that lol. Well anyway my dad knocks on my door and asked if I wanted to go drive my car and I was like YES! SCORE! But it didnt matter cause I was gonna drive it to chorus tonight, but it monsooned outside our house right before we left, so we didnt drive it. So we drove to Chik Fil A this afternoon and Adam said that people would look from their windows at the car lol. I was like yes! But the only bad part was like i was frying in the sun while I drove. I could feel the heat the whole time. I'm gonna get my tan from my car lol. But then when we got home, sweat rolled down my leg from the crease, and when i got up, my shorts were soaked and the leather was wet. Ew.

I GOT MY CAR!

I got my car!!!!!! Ahhhh!!!!! Score!!!! We went right over there after school yesterday and I had a hay day lol. My dad drove it home and I blasted the radio lol. Ok this car has a system in it already! It has front and rear speakers, 6 disc cd changer, and the bass is SO loud. It booms and if I touch the dashboard, I can feel it vibrate lol. I can't wait to blast Backstreet Boys in it lol, i've already got Millennium and Black and Blue in the cd player lol. The only poo part of the whole cd this though, is that my cd burner is poo and it won't copy cds, only like burn from the computer, so I have to download all the songs that I already have on disc, to burn onto a blank cd. That's gonna take a while. Poo on it.

But anyway when we got home and after dinner and all me and dad went and took our route and drove it so I could get a feel for it. It moves really well. The wheel is really tight (no not "oh hey man that is tight! Not Kris K at school lol). 'Tight' as in, if u move it a smidge, the car moves, it's easy to handle. But the brakes aren't as tight as the van, I have to push a little harder on those. But dad said we can get em tightened later. I told him last night when we were at a red light that I felt special cause I had a converti and that on tv and in the movies, u always see someone in a converti at a red light when everyone is looking around at the cars lol. I felt cool lol.

Ok tomorrow is our chorus concert. Do u have any idea how long were gonna be there? Forever! Were last to sing and we have like 6 songs to sing just by ourselves, and then all the other choruses have to sing too. Oh goodness and then that stupid slide show will take another hour, I know your thinking, no it wont, oh yes it will. Trust me on this one. It took that long last year and I thought I was gonna kill myself. But I think the whole show will be fun. The 6th grade should love us too if they get to watch lol. I love them there awesome lol. "HEY GUYS, I WENT TO THE STORE AND I BOUGHT AN APPLE, A BANANA, A LLAMA, AND A ZYLAPHONE!" haha :)
